And the grand finale; Jonathan Engle's great grandfather's Parker B Grade 8 gauge!

I recommend that you click on these photos so that they will open to a larger size to reveal the details of the engraving.

That's going to be a tough one. Prospect Hall's website posts scores of their public shoots on their website, but I don't know how quickly that will be done. Hopefully, Chuck will find time to post the scores on the wvgunshow.com website, the site for the shoot.

This was a great time and for a first year shoot, & it was done very, very well. The Sporting Clays course was wonderfull with some tricky shots and some simo's (this is Hillbilly lingo for True Pair, I think they have a problem down south with compound words) that were a challenge esp with the 28ga. The Hunters Clays course was a fun thing to shoot and my only regret is I only shot it once

For those of you who passed on this because it was a first time shoot, to close behind the Southern or to close to Hausmanns missed a great time both on the course and off.

I did miss out on seeing that VHE 410...how did that happen???

The last pictures on the second page showed the finalists in the "Steve Barnett Lookalike Competition", the young lady who ran the food service and the Virginia Vintagers banquet, and the elusive Bob Beach, Griffin and Howe historian. No one who attended the shoot can say enough about the food service and the Friday night buffet. Chuck, what is that lady's name? I thought she was a bit of a treasure.
